I had a dream last night in a Star Trek vein (be patient--this relates to the topic). In it, someone was explaining to someone how the Russians had finally "grown up", and were actually major builders of starships. A bunch of other stuff went on, but I want to focus on that point about society growing up. The dream that if we could just all get together and behave ourselves socially is at the very heart of socialism. Socialism believes Man's basic problem is that he has a social flaw, and if we build a perfect society, we'll have a perfect world. Star Trek is an example of that thinking.

Problem is, socialism runs contrary to Scripture. Per the Word of God, Mankind does not have a social flaw, but rather has a moral flaw.

What Obama is doing is socialism. He is a die-hard socialist.

I believe that a true socialist CANNOT be a Christian, and visa-versa, because they have as foundational core beliefs two conflicting worldviews....

The problem at the heart of the matter is this: he has (fatally) misdiagnosed Man's problem. His every action and decision made in a socialist manner will only accelerate ushering in the reign of the Antichrist where everyone will be forced to get along by uniting everyone under one man, the Antichrist. It is the socialist's ultimate dream, but Mankind's ultimate nightmare.

You want to find socialism in the Bible? Look no further than the Tower of Babel.

Anti-socialism is not what I got from the Tower of Babel. In fact, I got two things: First, an explanation for different languages and second, people working together for a great goal is bad and God fears it.

A socialist? You're fucking ridiculous. A socialist would have never pushed for the wage and benefit cuts he forced on the auto workers' union to help bail out General Motors and Chrysler.

You have two parties in the United States. One is right of center, the other is WAY right of center. Your perspective is warped from a lifetime of government and religious propaganda against anything resembling liberal thinking, not to mention all that post-war bullshit, commonly known as The Red Scare.

So you're saying that god wants us to be at odds with one another instead of sharing, lest he knock down our tower? God sounds like that bully on the beach who spots a group of kids cooperating to build a huge sandcastle, and decides to stomp over and kick it down...

How can someone spend so much time pouring over the gospel of Jesus and still manage to completely miss the point of his sermons entirely?

Uhhh, Russian Soyuz rockets have been launched since 1966. I wouldn't trust anything else if I were visiting the ISS. They're pretty dependable spacecraft. Also, I must commend you on your reading comprehension with the Bible and everything.. Did you also think "Catcher In the Rye" was about baseball?

@Lord X
Actually what I got was the reasons behind differnt langauges and God stopping people from spending all their effort on trying to walk to heaven. (AKA spend time living, quit waiting for Heaven... Like what the above do)

(I'm sure the Raptards would love to have a stairway to heaven, but for them it would need to be an esclator because they're to fat to walk))

what the hell do people on RR think socialism is exactly?
have they ever read one definition on it or what?
socialism isn't about making a perfect anything, its about everyone helping everyone else to better everyone's lives.
anyone who says jesus is not a socialist by the definition of socialism has no clue what socialism is!

"You want to find socialism in the Bible? Look no further than the Tower of Babel."
You mean the story where God was so terrified of what a united humanity could do that he scrambled the world's languages?
